My mother wants to help

[Brian Orr]

I'll preface by stating my mother is my 50/50 financial partner in our budding business. She has a long term corporate career in banking and auditing. I am handling most everything in our REI business except for bookkeeping (her forte). My degree is in finance and I have worked construction many years so REI is the culmination of my passions.

She has a strong want to become more of an asset to the company and has some time to do so. She's expressed a desire to obtain a license or even a degree, as her continuing education is paid (up to a point) by her employer, that would support our goals.

The question is, does anyone have suggestions on what path she should take that would  be of greatest asset to our company?
